Hooker and vice captain Robbie Farah was named despite suffering a broken hand on the weekend, while Roosters centre Michael Jennings retained his place in the side after serving a club-imposed suspension in Round 15.

"We've named the same 17 – they did a terrific job in Game Two," NSW coach Laurie Daley said.

"Going to Suncorp will be a very difficult task."

The Blues coach didn't give much away when asked about Farah's hand injury.

"Robbie's been a big part of our team and will continue to be," Daley said.

"We'll give him every opportunity to get right. We'll see how it pans out."
